Grandma's having a baby?

We recently discussed the nature of keeping "appropriate" secrets in our home. It led to this conversation before Thanksgiving:

Ryan and I- Sometimes it's okay to keep some secrets. Like things that we talk about as a family that are private. Can you keep this private? We want to share this with Grandma and Grandpa when they come this week and we wanted you to know first.
Tanner (smiling)- Yes!
Ryan- What is this a picture of?
Tanner (looking quizzically at an ultrasound picture)- A baby?
Ryan and I - Yes..... what do you think?
Tanner (looking) - Is Grandma having a baby?

Ryan and I laughed and laughed. Nope. But, I am. Due July 2nd. And the recent cause for my absenteeism in cooking, blogging, and overall un-motivation. But. I am almost 3 months. Hopeful that I will be on the upswing soon.

As a side-note. Tanner told my neighbor I was home "resting" one day as he was out playing. She asked if I was sick. She said he thought, and then said, "No, it's a family secret."

So excited for you Lacey! Hope you feel good and get lot's of long naps (just send the kids to my house!)... I'm being serious, I'll call you.
P.S. I'm glad its you and not "grandma", maybe your mom is really young but I was a little worried when I read the title ;)
